I think you're losing track of the discussion. You said this:

"Geeez. I'm pretty sure I've never seen a SA hammerless .357 mag. But
there's a lot of pistols I've not seen. If it is hammerless, how do you
cock it?"

OK now? That's what we were responding to. However, to be fair, I ignored
"SA" because it wasn't relevant, compared to "hammerless". Obviously, the
two ideas don't belong together, and "SA" has no relevance to this
discussion.

SA = Single Action, the hammer MUST be cocked for each shot (assuming a
revolver), DA = Double Action it can be fired with a pull of the trigger
only or (if it has a hammer) in SA mode to reduce the trigger pull..

Harrys comment was completely relevant. It is the distinction that makes the
difference.
